We’re so fucked. Not even moderately attractive white women can get jobs.

I'd never offer someone with 2 degrees a minimum wage job if it wasn't directly related to their studies. They'll leave the second they get the job they actually want lol. She needs to aim higher and apply for things that are relevant to her degrees.

When I worked in retail nearly a decade ago, I remember our manager hiring two new staff. One with a chemistry degree and one nearing the end of her psychology degree. He joked about "how bad things must be" that they had to resort to retail. One was gone 3 weeks later, and the other about 3 months later. He was shocked they left. Seemed genuinely perplexed. Bemoaned all the wasted training. I still wonder what the fuck he was thinking.

Why not just leave them off your resume? I don't know what the degrees are but I can assure they aren't needed to work at Panera Bread.

Right? But then they hit you with the old "can you explain this 6 years gap in your resume?" trick

At that end of the career market I would be really surprised if they grilled you on gaps. I mean a lot of their applicants have an 18-ish year gap on their resumes so 6 years is nothing.
Of course you could just lie and say you put in a couple years at Burger King. It's not they're going to call for references.

Just click bait. Wouldn't be surprised if she's an intern at a media company.

Yeah. That may have been because the early 2010s job market was not great most places so people just applied everywhere. You had Phd. holders competing with high school dropouts to stock shelves at Staples and stuff like that. I don't know what your manager was thinking though. No one gets multiple advanced degrees to grind out a few years at minimum wage employment lol. He might've been a huge dumbass.
@1,289,977 (G)
Probably yeah, some high turnover business makes sense. Get an income and something on your resume while you apply for careers you'd actually want. Idk how she can not get a job at like some ad agency or whatever with her comms degree in the NY/NJ/PA tri-state area. Might just be her resume sucks or she interviews poorly.

If she was smart she would have made a YouTube video about why she should be hired which would utilize both things she has a degree in

Is this real? They actually seek out communications majors for this line of work?
I had always just heard of it as a meme degree that no one actually uses for it's supposed purpose.

Yes she does. Here's what she's been doing since she graduated from community college:
In the last year, she's served in the US armed forces and was a member of the California National Guard. She's also married, and has two children.
Now she'll have to make a choice. Did she really want to end up as a sex slave?

The thing about acting degrees is - how many successful actors got degrees in acting? It seems like many of them took acting classes but very few, if any, actually seem to have graduated with an acting degree (same for famous musicians and music degrees).

I think a lot of professional musicians went to school for it, but they aren't necessarily famous
